The latest version of Avast! doesn’t allow me to schedule a scan. I go to Protection>Antivirus, select Full System Scan and then the clock in the top right hand corner. I input the required day (Saturday) and the required time 14:30 but no matter what time I input, after clicking on OK I get the message “Run your scan weekly on at invalid date”. I can still manually run the scan but scheduling doesn’t appear to work anymore. Any ideas please?

I should also add:
Windows 10
Avast Program version: 17.1.22869 (build 17.1.3394.0)
Virus Definitions Version 170224-1
I think you meant v. 17.1.2286
I’m on the latest beta and this seems to have no problems:

My Schedule screen shows a launch day not a launch date
I inadvertently sent the last e-mail while trying to attach a screen print which is now attached - I hope. (although the preview of this post isn’t showing the attachment)
I have also - hopefully - attached another screen print displaying the error.
In version 2288 that’s correct. The screenshot was from 172286
I can’t comment on that but under “about” I see:
Program version: 17.2.2288 (build 17.2.3719.0)
Virus definitions version: 170304-0
Number of definitions: 6,369,812
The other screenshot is now attached.
Can versions get “confused”?
You are trying to compare a screenshot from a prior version to the current version.
Things change. My current options are exactly the same as yours but I no longer have the old version.
OK but how do I fix it?
Are you still getting the same error ???
The scheduling scans is a known bug and will be fixed in a future version.
Avast had mentioned version 17.3. Till then if you need to do a scan you’ll have to do it manually.
Alternative, activate screensaver scan, then you dont have to think about it
Hi Pondus, the screensaver scan has been removed a while ago.
Hmm, then they removed a thing that worked ;D
Yep. 
Thanks all for your advice. I’ll wait for the fix.
